That's exactly what made me realize this. Everything since then seems to have just copied that image. Of course, it partly makes sense. Icebergs are generally too large to photograph underwater clearly since visibility will probably never be that good and the lighting would be terrible, so they'll always have to be composites. Also, whoops. Why did I link to a search for "Glacier underwater" instead of "iceberg"?
